Through data collected during On the Table Greater Akron and a community needs assessment, Akron Community Foundation's board and staff have identified three key areas in need of proactive funding: diversity, equity and social inclusion; drugs and addiction; and the aging senior population. The first $225,000 of a promised $500,000 investment has been announced, with grants going to the Greater Akron Chamber's Elevate Greater Akron initiative, the Women's Network, and Direction Home Akron Canton.
